Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Panthers, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The back end got a real overhaul.

If Jamari Sharpe and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
